We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

Description This handsome Victorian property has been meticulously renovated by the current owners to offer a stylish and flexible family home.
The accommodation extends to just under 3,000 sq ft, including a fully self-contained one-bedroom annexe currently used to generate additional income.
The house combines original character with high-quality modern finishes throughout, offering high ceilings, bay windows, wood-burning stoves, and generous proportions across all rooms.
The layout is well-suited to large families, multi-generational living or those seeking additional space to work from home.
Accommodation A wooden front door opens into an entrance vestibule with space for coats and shoes.
A glazed inner door leads into the welcoming and impressive hallway with high ceilings, stairs raising to the first floor and an under stair storage cupboard.
To the right is the main sitting room, a beautifully appointed space with a large south-facing bay window, wooden flooring, and a feature fireplace with wood-burning stove.
Opposite lies the open-plan kitchen/breakfast/dining room. The kitchen is modern and well-equipped with integrated appliances, a central island with built-in seating, and access to the rear porch.
The kitchen opens into a generous dining room with another bay window and its own wood-burning stove. This in turn can be closed off via sliding pocket doors for more intimate dining.
The ground floor also includes a utility room with freestanding appliances and a Belfast sink. Upstairs, the property continues to impress with five bedrooms in total.
Four are generous doubles, including the principal bedroom which benefits from an en-suite shower room. The fifth bedroom is currently used as a study.
The family bathroom is a standout feature which is exceptionally spacious and finished to a high standard. From the top floor, there are glimpses of the Exmouth coastline.
Outside The gardens have been thoughtfully landscaped to maximise both space and enjoyment.
To the rear and side, a decked seating area provides an ideal spot for entertaining or relaxing, surrounded by well-tended planting areas and a charming summer house.
To the front, the property is set back behind a large gravelled driveway offering ample parking for up to 5 vehicles, and leading to a detached single garage.
A generous lawned area with mature trees and established shrubs creates an attractive green buffer, offering privacy and a natural barrier from the road.
The Annexe A real asset to the property, the self-contained annexe offers a superb opportunity for multi-generational living, guest accommodation or an additional income stream.
Situated on the ground floor with its own private entrance, the annexe also enjoys a secluded outdoor seating area.
